Caroline Flack was sadly found dead at her London home on Saturday, February 16. A lawyer for her family confirmed the television presenter took her own life. Following her death, her family, including twin sister Jody, shared a statement which read: “We can confirm that our Caroline passed away today on the 15th February. “We would ask that the press both respect the privacy of the family at this difficult time.”
Who was Caroline’s twin sister Jody?
According to The Daily Express, Caroline shared a close relationship with her sister Jody throughout her life.
However, her sister has stayed out of the spotlight over the course of Caroline’s career.
Caroline previously told the Daily Express: “Jody is a mum with three beautiful children, so we have completely different lives, but we each enjoy the other’s life vicariously.”
She added: “I’m very lucky to have a twin. We’re very close – we shared a bed until we were four and we were in the same class at school – but we’re quite different.”
